Building the Future of AI: Policy, Startups, and the Next Wave of Innovation
Join AI After 5, Rogue Assembly, and Take Office for an evening of networking and conversation with Alex Bores, one of the country's leading voices on AI policy.
As a New York State Assemblymember and former software engineer at Palantir, Alex helped author and pass the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act, one of the most closely watched AI governance laws in the United States. The legislation established safety and transparency requirements for the largest AI developers while sparking a national debate around innovation, competitiveness, and accountability in artificial intelligence.
We'll bring together founders, investors, engineers, operators, and policy leaders to discuss the future of AI, including:
How policymakers should balance innovation and safety
The impact of AI regulation on startups and venture-backed companies
America's global competitiveness in artificial intelligence
AI's role in healthcare, economic mobility, and government
What founders, investors, and builders should expect from the next wave of AI policy
The evening will begin with networking, followed by an interactive Q&A with Alex on the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of AI. Whether you're building AI products, investing in emerging technologies, researching policy, or simply curious about where AI is headed, this conversation is designed to connect the people shaping that future.
